Dick Braine to lead Britain's far-right UKIP party
by Rob Beschizza from on (#4N1FD)
Congratulations, Dick Braine.
In a ballot of members, Mr Braine received 53% of the vote - more than double that of his closest rival. Mr Braine was the favoured candidate of his predecessor, Gerard Batten, who resigned after UKIP's poor performance in the European elections in May.
